I'm in Korea, which supposed to follow USA standards.
I had such a TV card sent over from Europe and set the NTSC option
in the kernel configuration file.

I never got it work. I used FreeBSD, but all I got was sound, without
pictures. I installed recent Mandrake/Linux, that got me pictures but
no sound.

I'm not an expert at all in this TV/Computer stuff; so I gave up on it.

Either the TV-card is very sensitive to what computer I have (let me
not blame the OSes, but my hardware first), or it needs a computer-freak's
mind and intelligence to get it work. Or Korea has a not so standard NTSC
TV system.....

Rob.
